55 FR 38335: Executive Agency Ethics Training Programs

The Office of Government Ethics (OGE) is issuing a proposed new subpart G of 5 CFR part 2638 to require executive branch agencies to maintain a program of training designed to ensure that all their employees are aware of the Federal conflict of interest statutes and principles of ethical conduct in accordance with the training provisions of Executive Order 12674, Principles of Ethical Conduct for Government Officers and Employees. OGE, consistent with its authority under E.O. 12674 and the Ethics in Government Act, is issuing this proposed regulation to ensure uniformity of executive branch agency ethics training programs. As proposed, each agency's program would consist of initial ethics orientation for all of its employees coupled with an annual training requirement for specified employees in sensitive positions.
